This the image from the image-proxy-store. As mentionned in our docs.
The registration is automatic once the use click 'install' in the store.

That is precisely the issue i am trying to highlight. There is no
difunctionality at the core here, just that the image we ship in the
store, epanded, is exactly 2 gb. When ran in the default machine type
(where disk space is set to 2 gb), the machine fails to run.

So either we need to reduce the default image size of our image shipped
in the store, or take on the little overhead in the feault 'm1.small' size.

Hope this clear things.
